Galilean transformation from velocity composition?

Hi.

Is there a quick way of deriving the Galilean transformations from the Galilean composition formula for velocities?

Cheers.

You mean, the other way around?

I have to think about this, but if you want to know more about this maybe Levy-Leblond's analysis of the Galilei group helps :)
